In trouble again! Harry Potter author JK Rowling accused of discrimination against transgender people

According to a recent report by foreign media Variety, India Willoughby, the first transgender news presenter in the UK, claimed in an interview with Byline TV that she had reported JK Rowling to the British police, accusing Rowling of hating the transgender community (including transgender people).

India Willoughby, a former contestant on Britain's Celebrity Big Brother and co-host of Loose Women, said Rowling's repeated misgendering of her online was a factor in the ongoing feud.

Willoughby said: "JK Rowling has absolutely committed a crime. I am legally a woman. She knows I am a woman but she refers to me as a man. This is a breach of the Equality Act and the Gender Recognition Act."

Willoughby continued: "I have made a police report about what JK Rowling said and I don't know if it will be considered a hate crime, malicious defamation or spreading falsehoods - but as far as I am concerned it is a complete and utter violation of the law."

JK Rowling responded by saying she had consulted a lawyer who believed: "My case against India Willoughby for defamation will be successful and that India's attacks on me over the past few years may have reached the legal threshold of harassment. Gender-critical views can be protected as a philosophical belief. There is no law forcing anyone to pretend to believe that India is a woman."

Rowling added: "I knew it was illegal to lie to law enforcement, I just had to explain to the police that in my opinion India was a male narcissist who lived in perpetual rage because he could not force women to accept his assessment of him."

In recent years, Rowling has come under fire for her views on the transgender community, especially transgender women. Now she has been strongly accused and criticized for her open anti-trans stance, openly opposing the transgender community and people who support transgender people.
